Banks Of The Ohio (Live) (1996 - Remaster) - Slim Dusty
I asked my love to take a walk
Take a walk just a little walk
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I held a knife against to his breast
As into his arms i pressed
He cried my love
Don't you murder me
I'm not prepared for eternity
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
I wandered home 'tween twelve and one
I cried My God what have I done
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me for his bride
And only say that you'll be mine
In no others' arms entwine
Down beside where the waters flow
Down by the banks of the Ohio
Down by the banks of the Ohio
